No... We are actually interested in IP addresses of sending mail

address), and the host smtp.webringworld.org doesn't exist. Richard
may want to further explain his SPF record.
I just used the tool at the spf web site and entered my sending ips
and domains. The record is what resulted. Do I truly understand it?
Probably not.
I'm the first to agree that it takes time to really understand it, and I
found the wizard at the SPF site difficult to understand, at least to
start with.
My goal was to get something in my zones (200 of them) that seemed to
make sense, then I could change them later with a search/replace
utliity if necessary. I wasn't really concerned with 100% perfection
yet, just getting my first stab in the zones (that was the hard part,
a hand-edit of the 200 zone files).
Did you see my 'objection' at
http://arc.ringlink.org/ringlink-open/msg03202.html ? Maybe it can help
you move a step towards "perfection". ;-)
